Just enter the formatting command `format c:/s /q` directly.

What is the significance of adding "S"?
I'm a beginner, I don't understand.

"s" means formatting the system disk, and other disks do not need to add it when formatting. "q" means quick format.
This is just my understanding. If there are any mistakes, please correct them.

Hehe~

If it's a batch processing, it should be written like this:

@FORMAT c: /s /q /autotest >NUL

@ means not to display this command. If there is @ECHO OFF at the beginning of the batch file, it is equivalent to adding an @ to each line of command, so there is no need to write it again. FORMAT is format.com. c: is the drive letter, the drive to be formatted. /s makes a system disk, that is, copies DBR, io.sys, msdos.sys, drvspace.bin, command.com. /q is quick format, only clears the DIR area and FAT table. /autotest means format.com does not prompt you whether to format. >NUL redirects the output result to the "virtual device" and does not display it on the screen
Somehow somewhere I've got to choose.
No matter if it is win or lose.

Hi! Brother upstairs, what you said is too professional, I didn't understand it very well. Now it seems that it doesn't need to be so troublesome, haha.

The previous few gentlemen spoke quite well. I think it should be like that. (My humble opinion)

It's indeed correct. But I still think using FORMAT C:/S is better.
First, it's a full format.
Second, there are prompts, which are relatively intuitive.
What do you think?

The host's talk is pretty good.

When actually operating, it's customary to still use the method of the person above.
